 | The IR-100 is a type B device It Can be transported without a overpack. A welded
stainless steel case houses a depleted uranium shield with an integral titanium
"S" tube. The uranium shield is supported and enclosed in polyurethane foam for
thermal, mechanical and oxidation protection. A automatic positive locking safety latch
plate ensures that the device automatically locks when the source assembly is driven back
into the lock box after the exposure. The device is a certified type B package, and has
the following certificates: U.S.N.R.C. , U.S.D.O.T. and I.A.E.A. USA/9157/B(U)-85,
Canada CDN/E94 |
 | The INC IR-100 is used with Iridium-192 sources up to maximum activity of 120 Ci (4440
GBq) for the radiography of steel, copper and brass in the thickness range of .5 to 3
inches. |
 | The use of depleted uranium for shielding results in a significant reduction in both
weight and size. The device weight only 53 lbs. (24.1 kg) Stainless steel
construction, together with all-metal handle and low center of gravity, make the device
suitable for use under rugged field conditions. |
 | There are two types of control assembles available. The pistol grip control consists of
a lightweight cable housing attached to a handcrank to push the source to the exposure
position and return back to the device. The reel type control consists of a lightweight
welded tubular stainless steel reel containing the drive gear assembly. |
 | Source guide tubes are flexible stainless steel tubes with a protective polyvinyl
covering and come in 7 ft lengths up to 21 ft. |
